Effects of Motivation, Self-Efficacy, Efficiency, and Qualities on Academician's Job Performance during Work from Home (WFH)

WFH has become the "new norm," prompting organizations to consider its long-term implementation. This study investigates the relationship between telework motivation, self-efficacy, efficiency, and quality, and their impact on job performance among academicians. Through an online survey of 369 lecturers from Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), employing statistical analyses including Pearson correlation and multiple regression, the study finds significant positive correlations between telework motivation, self-efficacy, efficiency, quality, and job performance. Particularly, telework self-efficacy and quality significantly influence job performance. The findings underscore the importance of fostering self-efficacy and providing supportive telework environments to enhance productivity and well-being among remote academic staff.
